It's not a crime. But you sound utterly ridiculous already dismissing a film because of its run time. What's funny is you don't even think you sound ridiculous. You seem to think its like perfectly fine to just be like "well this film I haven't even SEEN yet will be meh, because of its run time"

I wrote it in one of my previous posts that he has 2 options, either wait and see how everything plays out before jumping to any conclusions OR simply don't watch the MCU films. People saying a movie will meh or whatever because of the run time is just ridiculous.

James Gunn talks GOTG:

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Quote:

In light of the interstellar superhero team being a lesser-known Marvel property, Gunn laughingly admits, Oh, I had to do research because I'm very stupid. I don't have a very good memory. I had read, I think, most of the Guardians books, says Gunn. I was more up to speed on the [comics writers Dan] Abnett [and Andy] Lanning stuff. I had to go back and remind myself. I read a lot of the '90s stuff when it was out, but I had forgotten it by the time this came along.

Despite the many times Guardians has been compared to the Star Wars movies, James Gunn admits he knew all along that he would bring something fresh and unique to Marvel. At the risk of sounding pompous, because it's going to be filtered through me, it's going to be its own thing no matter what, says the director. But I think it was a chance to do something that really could make people feel like I felt when I was a young kid and saw these big spectacular space epics and give them something of that. And that was an exciting thing to be able to do.

As the director hopes much of Guardians of the Galaxy's uniqueness will flow from its bizarrely assembled cast, Gunn says a key to that approach was casting Chris Pratt. I was not willing to settle for second best, says James. We auditioned many, many actors, and a lot of big actors who came in and tried to get the role of Peter Quill, and we tested over two dozen people. And none of them were right. It just didn't feel right in my gut, and I always follow my gut. And Chris came in. He was pretty heavy at the time, and he read. But within about 30 seconds of him reading, I looked back at the casting director and I was like, What the--? This is the greatest thing ever! I mean, I knew he was it.

James Gunn further proclaimed his strong desire to launch more cosmic stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe within the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. I want to lay down the rules, I want to start it  I would love to be able to see it grow into other things, he says. I love talking about all the other filmmakers, sitting around with the producer pitching ideas for other filmmakers to take on future Marvel projects. It's a great thing to be a part of. And I don't think it's for everybody, but the truth is for me being able to sort of create this movie is a dream come true and just been a great experience.

God you people like to assume a lot, I can see why others on this site complain about the threads with MCU movies in them now and stay out of them, because you people just attack any simple complaint against any MCU movie. They arent perfect no matter what you guys think, and I can them to get out of this lazy thinking that every movie needs the same tone, so they can make better movies.

And i'm not judging the movie solely on the run-time, I judging it on what I know of the plot as well which is quite a lot considering I have followed the movie from the start, back even before Patty Jenkins was director. Also, I am simply saying with the run-time it has I dont think the movie will be anything more than good, reactions I have seen so far tend to support that, but I will judge for myself when I go see the movie.

In the meantime, people like yourselves can go on thinking everything Marvel does is gold and making threads like these very unwelcome.

Post a few scans if you can and let me know what comic it was in so I can pick it up. I've been slacking o. my man Drax lately and I need a fix of some Draw action.

Well, last thing I read with Drax in was The Thanos Imperative, in which he died about halfway through, I believe he has made a return since but done nothing and he was only spotted alive. This is all I know anyway maybe some others know different. Read The Thanos Imperative if you havent already though as the GOTG play a big part in it, Drax included.

Dont really visit the Spidey-boards anymore, big Spiderman fan but not that excited about the new franchise so dont go there, its only the MCU boards where I have experience this level of abuse for simple airing some concerns and saying I want the Marvel movies to be better.

Like Thor 2, I have followed GOTG from the start as well, and was probably here before most of these personal abusers as well.

You, on the other hand, are making a hell of a lot of assumptions about me:

Who attacked you?You're the one who told us to "stop being sensitive and *****y can STFU and deal with it".Stop being over-dramatic and playing the victim here.

Then should stop jumping into conclusions and whining about the run-time. We've been all trying to tell you this, watch the movie first before jumping to any conclusions.

Who thinks that? Honestly you'll be hard pressed to find too many people concerned about anything Marvel related after they pulled off the Avengers. Marvel is not perfect, IM2 is the only MCU movie I dislike, it could have been better but they rushed it and it was a set-up to the Avengers. So far I've been impressed with the MCU, just because we have a different opinion than yours, it doesn't mean you have to go around saying **** like this. Some of us have been enjoying what the MCU has put out so far (sans IM2), so please enough with the "Marvel does gold" crap.

Seriously what abuse? Go over to the bat Boards or heck, even the MOS boards and give your so-called "Constructive criticism" or whatever you wanna call it and we'll see if you make it out alive.

Who's abusing you? Maybe we should call Dr.Phil and you can go talk to him about your "abuse" that you've been getting on these boards.

I suggest developing a thicker skin if you consider this abuse. C'mon guy.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy: General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 6

Guys, stop pointing fingers and discuss the movie. The finger pointing and personal comments are only going to get worse as this go one, so stop it and move on. Everyone has a right to their opinion. They can say what they're thinking. Respect that and discuss GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY! Not how people are treated on other areas of the site.

No probs, did a quick wiki check and it seems Thanos Imperative was his last significant appearance. He has big roles in Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, and a smaller role in the War Of Kings saga as well, though he wasnt really in that much. Suggest reading these, especially the 1st 2, if you havent already.
